When the Kansas City Chiefs cut right tackle Eric Winston on Wednesday, almost everyone assumed it signaled a plan to draft a left tackle with the No. 1 overall selection in April's NFL Draft -- even Branden Albert.

Albert, the incumbent left tackle, tweeted Wednesday he had zero interested in playing anywhere else on the line (he has since deactivated his Twitter account). It turns out he might have jumped the gun with his assumption.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that the Chiefs are continuing to work out a long-term deal with the franchise-tagged Albert on the assumption he will be their left tackle of the future. The Chiefs are still interested in drafting a tackle to fill the right side of the line.

Andy Reid values right and left tackle similarly, so the line of thinking follows that the Chiefs could draft either Luke Joeckel or Eric Fisher -- the two highest-rated offensive tackles, according to NFl Network draft expert Mike Mayock -- and slide either of them in at right tackle. With the rookie wage scale, the Chiefs could be replacing Winston with a younger, less-expensive player.

Scouts will get another look at Joeckel at Texas A&M's pro day today, and the Chiefs might be deciphering whether he can play both sides of the offensive line.

The same guy who a few weeks later, watched Richard Seymour pick up Cassel and piledrive him into the ground after the play was done? I repeat: just watched it happeend in front of him? It's sick rooting for injuries.....but watching them happen is ok.

Was that a big deal in KC when Winston went on his rant about the way fans behaved toward injured players ?

On here it was. Not sure about the casual fans.

It has nothing to do with being a Chiefs fan and everything to do with paying attention to the rest of the NFL.

Of course a running game and defense are important - gotta re-live the 90's!

So you don't think you need a running game or defense to win consistently?

You think the only path to winning is to get a HOF QB because they are everywhere, and **** the rest of it?

Name me one team without a HOF caliber QB that can win consistently on the QB's shoulders alone? And the answer isn't the Ravens because Flacco was as much a liability as an asset before this post season and they won off of running and defense. I knwo I am in the minority on Flacco but I can tell you this, he had some recivers make a shit ton of circus catches that won't happen on a regular basis. They caught fire and couldnt be stopped but I seriously doubt that run is repeatable. If not for a stupid CB they wouldn't have beaten Denver.

What do you do if you don't have a HOF caliber QB available? You want to build your team on hoping you get that 1 magic run through the playoffs?
